Alec Baldwin has won a key legal battle that saw one of his charges over the deadly shooting of Halyna Hutchins dropped — drastically reducing the potential prison time he is facing. The Fe County district attorney confirmed to The Post Monday that it had dropped a firearm enhancement to one of two involuntary manslaughter charges the “30 Rock” star was facing. Without it, that means he faces a maximum of 18 months in prison for manslaughter — down from the five years he’d faced before. Lawyers for Baldwin, 64, had earlier argued that the charge was “unconstitutional” because it was based on a New Mexico law passed after the deadly October 2021 shooting on the set of “Rust.” Heather Brewer, a spokesperson for the district attorney, confirmed that the enhancement was removed over the legal argument. “In order to avoid further litigious distractions by Mr. Baldwin and his attorneys, the District Attorney and the special prosecutor have removed the firearm enhancement to the involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Halyna Hutchins on the ‘Rust’ film set,” Brewer told The Post. “The prosecution’s priority is securing justice, not securing billable hours for big-city attorneys,” Brewer said in a scathing statement.

American actor Alec Baldwin (65) was re-indicted on the 19th for an accident in which a director of photography died after accidentally firing a prop gun during the filming of the movie "The Last" in 2021. The union (SAG-AFTRA) released a statement in defense.
On the 25th, SAG-AFTRA stated, ``It is not the actor's responsibility to make sure guns are safe,'' and commented that an actor's job is not to become an expert on firearms or weapons. He defended the matter by saying that the responsibility lies with qualified professionals.
Although Baldwin has consistently maintained that he did not pull the trigger, he could be sentenced to up to 18 months in prison if convicted of manslaughter. (Los Angeles = Correspondent Kanako Chitose)

The original charge of manslaughter (unpremeditated murder) against Baldwin was dropped in April last year. A New Mexico grand jury later indicted him on new charges of manslaughter. Baldwin is charged with two counts of "careless use of a firearm" and acting "without due care or prudence."
